Where this one came from

Lavina made this every Christmas and sent it home in ice cream buckets. It never lasted the drive.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

Directions

  1. Combine the butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup.
  2. Boil for 6 minutes (can be done in the microwave).
  3. Add the remaining ingredients and pour over the popcorn.
  4. Put in a large pan.
  5. Bake at 200 degrees F for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
